This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.

GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.

Priority findings

3 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.

  1. Security headers

    Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.

    • High

      Missing Content-Security-Policy header

      Controls resources the browser is allowed to load

      What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application

      • ASVS V3.4.3
      • OWASP Secure Headers: OWASP Secure Headers Project recommends Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self'; form-action 'self'; base-uri 'self'; object-src 'none';…

  2. SSL/TLS

    TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.

    • High

      Weak Protocols Supported

      Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1

      What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions

      • CWE-327
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • ASVS V12.1.1
    • High

      Weak SSL Key Length

      SSL certificate uses 256-bit key, which is considered weak

      What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

      • CWE-326
      • OWASP A04:2025
      • Mozilla TLS: Mozilla Server Side TLS 6.0 intermediate: rsa_key_size 2048

Results by check

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.

How this score is calculated

The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Not counted

  • NIS2 outside view: Re-weights evidence from the TLS, email, DNS, network and hygiene checks, so counting it would count that evidence twice. Shown on its own.
  • OffSeq Observations: An AI reading of the site, useful context but not reproducible evidence. Shown on its own.

Findings that cap the score at 49

Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.

  • The certificate is not trusted by browsers
  • The website is not served over HTTPS
  • A database, remote desktop, file-sharing or Telnet service is reachable from the internet
  • The page loads a script from a compromised source
  • The domain registration has expired
  • SPF authorises every server to send mail as the domain

Partial scans

When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Technical appendix

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.

Business context

Business profile

ThemeForest operates as a marketplace business model, generating revenue through sales and commissions on digital assets. Its competitive advantage lies in its extensive catalog, brand recognition under Envato, and integration with other Envato services. The target customers include web professionals and businesses requiring customizable website templates. The company benefits from a large user base and a global reach, supported by comprehensive customer support and transparent policies. Partnerships with major technology providers and ad networks enhance its marketing and monetization capabilities. Growth indicators include continuous platform updates and strong brand consistency. Strategic observations suggest maintaining security and privacy compliance as critical to sustaining user trust and market leadership.

Security posture

The website exhibits a mature security posture with HTTPS enforced, domain status locks preventing unauthorized changes, and use of consent management tools. Security headers and CSRF tokens are present, indicating attention to secure coding practices. No exposed sensitive data or vulnerable libraries were detected in the HTML content. However, DNSSEC is not enabled, which could be a potential area for improvement. Incident response and explicit security policies are not publicly detailed, representing a gap in transparency. Overall, the security maturity is high, but publishing a vulnerability disclosure policy and security contact information would enhance trust and readiness.

Recommendations

  1. Enable DNSSEC to strengthen DNS security and prevent spoofing.
  2. Publish a dedicated security policy and incident response contact details on the website.
  3. Implement and publicize a vulnerability disclosure or security.txt file to encourage responsible reporting.
  4. Regularly audit third-party scripts and libraries to ensure no vulnerabilities are introduced.
  5. Enhance transparency by providing clear data retention policies and security certifications if applicable.

Technical notes

Notes

ThemeForest's technical infrastructure is modern and robust, leveraging Cloudflare for DNS and CDN, Cookiebot for GDPR-compliant consent management, and Datadog and Rollbar for monitoring and error tracking. The site uses standard web technologies including HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript with asynchronous script loading for performance optimization. Meta tags and structured data are well implemented, supporting SEO and accessibility. The site is mobile-optimized and demonstrates fast loading times. Technical risks are minimal, with the main opportunity being the adoption of DNSSEC and enhanced security transparency. The platform's integration within the Envato ecosystem provides scalability and operational resilience.
Standards and sources

Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
